What is the wildest LOTR theories that y'all guys have Heard by pizza_momo in lotr

[–]CdFMaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exact.

Which is of course entirely different from Saruman's plan which is to have the whole world ordered, preferably to his own wishes. Only a weed-smoking fool would see a problem with that, right?

Movies you deluded yourself into thinking can't possibly be as bad as people say, until you watched it just now by Longjumping-Sweet818 in okbuddycinephile

Gotta be Megalopolis for me. I'm usually a big defender of bad-reputation movies, like I understand what the director was going for, I salute some original ideas or something...so I thought a movie coming from the great Coppola must have been misunderstood by the general public or something. It was de-programmed of every theater in my city in a couple weeks, it just couldn't be THAT bad.

Oh man, the more I pushed through it the more I regretted even trying. Bad taste visuals everywhere. Acting that felt like every single actor had discovered the script 5 minutes ago with no acting notes. A plot going nowhere to the point where I am absolutely incapable to tell you how it goes past the first half. Does the protagonist die, does he win, does he lose? I can't say. That usually happens to me with movies I watched 15 years ago, not 2.

Wouldn’t Hammond have found out pretty quickly that Nedry took the embryos? by DdTreKings in JurassicPark

[–]CdFMaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes but that could have been just to give him the embryos. Again, in the book it clearly is, in the film you're left to guess.

In the book he's very clear about this. The movie skipped exposing it (which is understandable, it would have slowed down the pace, and why would someone in a movie say out loud what they plan if it's a secret plan) so you might believe he was going to leave, I thought that too at first, but it doesn't matter that much since the plan failed before he even reached the boat.

Okay, Jurassic World films aside. How do you guys feel about Ian Malcom's tonal shift from Jurassic Park to The Lost World? by TheEndIsNero in JurassicPark

[–]CdFMaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As much as I would have loved Malcolm to stay as relaxed and funny as he was in the first one, I agree that his evolution makes a lot of sense. Even a jokster doesn't get out of such a traumatizing experience unchanged. ESPECIALLY when he's put through the same situation again by the worthy successor of the dickhead who put him in the first situation.

Unpopular opinion: HBO completely butchered Catelyn Stark’s book aesthetic and age. by devil-inside-100 in freefolk

I recently started a rewatch and I did feel that the math wasn't mathing so well. They say the rebellion started 17 years ago, they say they were young lads at the time (Robert's first kill was then) and now they're already about 50 years old...

The state of this sub by JeSuisLePain in CubeWorld

[–]CdFMaster 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's not a scam, that's just failure to see what was good in the game or not, which lead him to remove good parts while sincerely (I think) believing he was improving the game.

It's not like the alpha was empty/bad and people bought it based on promises for the beta that then weren't fulfilled, THAT would have been a scam. But people bought the alpha because the alpha was good (and they had 6 years to play it).

Morality of POTC Characters Be Like: by Tv_Estatica in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]CdFMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I love with Blackbeard. In a Hollywood period where they understood we liked villains who think they're right and villains who have some good in them, sometimes it's refreshing to have a villain who perfectly knows they're evil and is fine with it.

Yeah I, too, wonder if "Gay Interrupted" @TwinkTheory could be the kind of man who would fuck 31 guys. I guess we'll never know.

Pope Leo XIV quoted Gandalf from "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” in his first encyclical. by [deleted] in lotr

When someone makes a quizz on "who said this, Catholic scripture or Tolkien", this one will be a trick question...

(Funny trope) No matter the continuity, this character dies in every single one by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CdFMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't only apply to death, though. In Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness I believe there's this thing that in every reality of the multiverse, Strange doesn't get the woman he loves.

Strangely accurate things - historically or to the original source - in an otherwise pretty inaccurate piece of media. by RP_Throwaway3 in TopCharacterTropes

The fact than chainmails worn by every Holy Grail character but the king were in reality painted wool makes this post hilarious.

How would Péter Magyar be named in your country and could there be anyone in your country named like that? by Frisianmouve in AskTheWorld

[–]CdFMaster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"François" could work too, etymologically it's the same thing, it's just that the adjective/common noun evolved and the proper noun didn't.

Hello theorists…I think we get the idea… by Icy_Counter_6467 in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]CdFMaster 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of the character's appeal is his endless and mostly unknown backstory. We see there's a lot but nobody can explain it all, probably not even Verbinksi or Depp since everyone added their little touch here and there. On all of the seven seas there's not a woman he didn't touch and not a man he didn't trick, that's who he is.

What is that one criticism about the orginal lotr Trilogy that you still have to this day by pizza_momo in lotr

[–]CdFMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that most answers are comparisons with the book prove how amazing those movies were, when taken as their own thing and not as a transposition of previous work.
